This troublesome showing was finally met
by the Northwestern lagents with the salts
factory answer ITO themselvesl that the fall
ing of in the cash dividend per $1,000 OF insur.
ance was due to the deferred distribution lof
surplus ON tontine policies and that the older
policies still received the usual amount OF
dividends. With this plausible statement still
ringing in ones ears, it is rather amusing
reading circular recently issued by Messrs.
J. O. X W. F. Bache, general agents OF the
Northwestern mt Boston, Mass. Among other
things contained in il is an illustration OF the
cash dividends paid on policy covering the
life of Mr.. VIM. Sickles of ST. Johns, Mich.
The policy is tor 1900, although tor purposes
OF comparison the agents have raised il TO a
S2O,O 900 basis. In order tnat we may not be ac
cused of using policy that does not exist,
we reduce the figures to their actual amount
by dividing the figures in the circular by 90.

TEACHERS IN CHICAGO.
"Reminiscences Suggested by the National

"Reminiscences Suggested by the National
Convention Held There.
Chicago has but barely recovered from the
visitation of schoolma'ams and schoolmas-
tiers which it recently sustained on the occa-
sion of the holding of the National Teachers
convention there. From all accounts the
gathering was satisfactory one to all con-
cerned and the exposition building, where
the convention was held, has rarely contained
so great an aggregation Of good looks and
good heads as it did during the session. But
it is not with the convention that this article
has to deal directly, but with a Renaissance
brought out in a late number of The New
England Journal of Education. 1t seems
that the statement had been made that this
teachers convention was the first ever held in
Chicago This is shown to be mistake, for
a teachers convention was held in Chicago
twenty -five years ago. On the return trip of
the New England delegation the party
stopped at the Island of Manitou. and here is
the description given of the visit:
Before reaching Manitou we learned from
the officers of the boat that there was a
school upon the island. Delighted at the
prospect Of an opportunity to visit a school,
and espe tally so romantic one as this was
pictured to be, we set out at once, on landing,
for the little log schoolhouse. The descrip-
ton gave us little idea of its primitiveness.
There was a hole in the roof for stovepipe,
one in the end for door, and two on the
sides for windows, which, with numerous
large cracks between the logs, gave ample OPP
portunity for light and ventilation. The
only piece of school apparatus in the room
was, as Mary D. Adams described it, "a
blackboard about two feet short by eighteen
inches narrow The school was taught by
Miss Angelica Buss, Of New York. She was

across the continent, visiting, of course, Salt
Lake City, Denver and other places Of note,
diverging to Texas to visit the ranch OF the
countess brother, and to st. Paul to see an
other brother, and stopping while at
Niagara Falls. In many places especially at
Chicago, they were honored by the visits of
large delegations of Scotch and Irish, and, as
a consequence, the earl is somewhat outspoken
in his faith that Americans almost unani-
mously sympathize with the Gladstone move
ment for the reform of Irish government and
amelioration of Irish conditions.
The earl was born in 1917, succeeded to his
title in 1870, married the daughter of Lord
Tweedmouth in 1877, Joined the Liberal party
in 1879, and became lord lieutenant of Ireland
for a short time in 1856. He has three girls
and boy. He is accompanied in his tour by
Professor Henry Drummond, of Scotland.
He receives all sorts of people with much
affabilty, and converses with press repre-
sentatives with a freedom somewhat sur
prising. He is an ardent defender Of Glad
stones Irish policy, is anxious to get home in
time to vote against the coercion acts in the
house of lords, and is confident the home rule

For people to expect cure for lndges-

WASHINGTON, October 13-Secretary
Lamar received this evening frem Spe-
cial Agent Howard, Geographic re-
port on the situation at the Crow
Agency, Montana, where trouble was
begun on the 3Jth of last month. The
report, which is lengthy, virtually con-
firms the first dispatches about the
trouble, which was Inaugurated by a
young buck Medicine Man, land about
fifteen or sixteen of his followers, who,
on the evening of the Seth when prep =
arations were in progress, peacefully
for the distribution of rations on the
following day, rode through the agency
in full war paint, firing into the
roofs of all the. houses and acting
in very insulting manner. Special
Agent Howard thinks Agent Williams
acted very wisely in not attempting to
arrest him with the Indian police force,
as it would have engendered bIoodshed,
perhaps a general massacre. Two
troops of cavalry arrived on the
grounds about 10 pm. with orders only
to protect the employees and property

them, at the same time removing all
their sqlaws, old men and children
from the teepes to the opposite side of

into camp, the defiant gang OF
Indians went to the traders
store and demanded ammunition,
which was, of course, refused.

trader, his wife and clerks had 10 bar
ricade the windows with bales of
blankets to protect themselves. The
gang kept up their shooting all night,
openly defying the troops ana making
night hideOus with their yells. In the
morning two more troops of cavalry
arrived, and for FIVE or six hours this
gang and some sixty or seventy fol-
lowers, stationed on the top of the
hill, overlooking the agency, dared
and de6ed the soldiers to come
up and take them. In the
evening they disappeared and
have been planting seeds of discord
among the whole Crow tribe ever since.
These Indians have not only stolen
horses from the Piegans, but from
white settlers. Medicine Man" is a
very bad Indian, and if he anu his fol
lowers are not arrested all the progress
these Indians have made will be lost for
years to come, and the whole Crow
nation be completely demoralized. The

some length. He spoke of the
wonderful growth, prosperity and
enterprise of Kansas City, quoted sta
tistics and made comparisons which he
thought indicated substantial pros
